Men’s Issues
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
More men are turning to therapy. They’re realizing the benefits of having space to connect with their feelings, deepen their relationships, and find greater meaning in life. As they understand themselves better through therapy, many men gain new insights into the ways they were shaped by masculinity, both for good and for ill. Reckoning with how masculine and patriarchal norms have shaped us can help us build on the strengths found in masculinity and reduce the influence of more toxic elements.
I work with male-identified patients of all sexualities and cultural identities. I have particular strengths working with queer men and same-sex male couples. My research and clinical work has focused on the experiences of queer men, especially bisexual men and queer male military Veterans. Some men elect to work specifically on men’s issues from the start of treatment, and others only address issues of masculinity explicitly when relevant in treatment. Regardless, people who struggle with issues related to masculinity would likely benefit from working with a provider specializing in psychotherapy with men.

Allen Wood
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Whether we focus on masculinity or not, the pressures and expectations that men can face create a unique dynamic that can't be ignored. As a psychologist specializing in men's issues, I integrate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reinforce your strengths while exploring the aspects of your life that don't fit or work as well as you'd want. I draw upon the principles of Interpersonal Neurobiology to understand how our situation, relationships, internal conflicts, and past experiences can impact the body and brain in ways that disrupt our daily life. In our work together, you can expect a high level of collaboration, deeply compassionate understanding, and an abundance of metaphors as we tailor the therapy process to your needs, strengths, and situation.
